Can you open it with the key from outside? If the key just spins in the lock spray some WD40 in to the key hole wait 5 min and try working the lock they do size up.
Other than that climb in thru the back and look at the sliding door about half way thru just below where the glass normaly would have been you'll see a push button, lift it up and you be able to open the door from outside. Hope it works. Greg

Hmm mine is on drivers side ex Gas board and no problem lifting the button.
It looks like something is broken or sized
Ok next stage would be to take off plastic trim from inside. Prise it of a little you'll see the panel is glued in with mastic and it will have some clips there as well. Use something to prise the panel away from the door and cut mastic with Stanley blade as you pulling at it will come out.[be careful not to cut the clips Then look inside the door you should see a rod going from push button to door lock or lock actuator pull or push on it gently and see if it will pop the button. Have good look inside and see if something is broken spray some WD40 and see if it'll frees off. I'm not exactly sure what type of setup is inside the door it could well be that the central locking mechanism is incorporated in the lock itself . But would guess you problem is something sticking by push button or handle . Greg
